The 3-credits, on-campus option focuses on interactive book sharing and creating thematic resource guides in teams. For 6-credits, in addition to the resource guide, participants will develop a classroom-based project to be implemented in their classroom in Fall 2008. Each participant who completes the requirements will receive free books for their classroom library.
